Product Description
Talavera Floral Scroll Medallion Relief Tile uses a warm golden ochre background that gives the relief strong depth and traditional presence. Deep cobalt blue shapes build the central floral structure, olive green scroll forms add balanced movement, and bold red highlights punctuate petals and the inner ring to create focused rhythm. Each color reads as solid and saturated with clean separation, so the sculpted contours remain clear and the shadows stay defined. The design is symmetrical and radial, centered on a stylized rosette that resets within each tile, allowing every piece to read complete while still installing in a clean grid. Hand pressed, glazed, and kiln fired in traditional Mexican craftsmanship, this relief tile brings confident color and sculptural ornament to feature surfaces.

Tile Pattern Analysis

Regional Design Influences
This tile reflects Mexican Talavera relief tradition through bold color blocking and sculpted ornament associated with central Mexico ceramic heritage. Spanish colonial influence appears in the formal medallion symmetry and architectural framing. Moorish and Mediterranean influence is present in the scrolling vocabulary and rhythmic curves adapted into Mexican decorative tilework.
Artisan Craftsmanship
Artisans press the clay in a relief mold to create consistent raised petals, scroll contours, and clean boundaries across the medallion. Solid glazes are applied within raised outlines so cobalt, olive, red, and ochre fields remain sharply separated. A smooth glazed surface keeps attention on sculpted depth and natural shadowing rather than texture. Kiln firing sets the glaze and preserves saturation, with small variation in edge softness and relief height valued as handmade character.

Installation
Dry lay a small section first to confirm orientation so rosette centers and scroll directions stay consistent across the grid. Start from a reference line to keep the layout square, then maintain uniform joints so the radial rhythm reads even from tile to tile. Wipe the tile face gently as you work so the glaze stays clean and relief edges remain defined.
Cleaning
Wipe the glazed surface with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth. Rinse with clean water and dry with a towel, paying attention to raised edges where moisture can sit. Regular gentle wiping keeps the ochre field clear and preserves contrast between the cobalt, olive, and red details.
